    Vintage mike has some overpriced parts and kits listed,----But that is my opinion.----Those coils look good to me.-----Hard to believe you have 2 bad coils in this elegantly simple magneto!

    My wildest guess is the plastic post is missing from threaded hole to the lower right.-----Prevents starting the motor with too much throttle applied.

    Save your Money for now.-----Sparkplugs do not generate the voltage to jump a gap.----Pull the flywheel and look at coils / points / condensers.

    I say you do not have spark !----So does spark jump a gap of 5/16" ( 8 mm ) on a test device , yes or no?----Have you pulled the flywheel to check the coils ?

    Replace the prop and test run.----Or did you have lower unit off for water pump work?----Checked gear oil ?-----A 15" motor on a 20" transom?----Post as much information as you can,----Nobody can see or hear your motor!

    1990 60 hp Evinrude fuel issue

    Fuel from the electric primer valve goes directly into the intake airstream.----This fuel bypasses the carburetor metering jets.----This strongly suggests that carburetors need attention
